Is the historical dispute Wanli's inaction or fatuity?

In the fifteenth year of Wanli, in order to avoid the harassment of ministers, Emperor Wanli announced the implementation of "still life photography" and never went to court again. Many people think that Wanli's years of "not standing up to the DPRK" is an important manifestation of Wanli's contempt for politics, and it is also the reason why state affairs are difficult to handle. In fact, not going to court and ignoring politics are two completely different concepts, and the victory of "Three Heroes in Wanli" was achieved during the period of not going to court.

It can be seen that the political records after Wanli 15 are no different from those before Wanli 15. Relieve famine, rectify bureaucracy, suppress rebellion, regulate rivers, develop economy, and communicate with foreign countries. No, there is no sign of ignoring the government at all. On the contrary, it can be seen that with the growth of age, Wanli's ruling ability is also growing, and many intractable diseases have been properly handled, especially the hard-won victory of "Wanli Three Signs".

There are also great doubts about the so-called neglect of government performance. There are indications that the Ming History compiled by the Qing people? There are many problems in Zongshen stone foundation. Meng Sen, a famous historian, believes that since ancient times, when dynasties change and later generations modify the history of the previous generation, all places involving the new dynasty will disappear without exception. But in most cases, the time involved is not long, and all the disappeared places can be found and understood by future generations in the process of reading history. The whole history of a generation has never disappeared like Ming history.

Most of these problems are concentrated after Wanli, and the reasons come from two aspects: one is the literati of the Manchu Empire, and the other is the remnants of the Lindong Party.

In order to maintain the rule and eliminate the people's sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty concealed the history of the Ming Dynasty, deliberately magnified the stain and vilified the image of Ming Di. On the other hand, the remnants of the Lin Dong Party who participated in the compilation of the Ming history stood on the party's side, safeguarded the party's interests, distorted the actual situation of the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty, and judged the people and things involved by the right and wrong standards of the Lin Dong Party, which was unfair.

Query on "Not Facing North Korea" and "Invisible"

Many people question the saying that Emperor Wanli did not go to court. In the Ming dynasty, going to court was like holding a plenary session. Many people talk too much to ask political questions. Litigation only gives everyone a chance to quarrel, which is not beneficial to the handling of government affairs. Banning it will play a positive role in curbing bad behavior. The main channels for the emperor to handle government affairs are similar to today, such as holding small-scale meetings, convening relevant personnel or passing official documents.

As can be seen from the History of Ming Dynasty, the government records after Wanli 15 are no different from those before. Relieve famine, rectify bureaucracy, suppress rebellion, regulate rivers, develop economy, and communicate with foreign countries. Everything has been done, and there is no sign of ignoring the government. On the contrary, it can be seen that with the growth of age, the ruling ability of Emperor Wanli has been continuously enhanced, and many intractable diseases have been properly handled, especially the victory of the "Three Major Investigations of Wanli".

The perfect system in Ming Dynasty provided conditions for Wanli to practice "still life photography". After Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, he designed a set of systematic laws and regulations on the basis of summing up the political gains and losses of past dynasties and his own ruling experience, which was embodied in Ming History. Zongshen Benji and Huang Ming Zuxun. In the ancestral training, Zhu Yuanzhang lectured him in every way, almost aimlessly. He made very specific and detailed regulations on system and law, institutional setup, basic words and deeds of emperors, code of conduct of officials, ethics of harem, etc. A network of power operation and checks and balances has been constructed.

It should be s

Emperor Wanli's "still photos" are still the ruling idea under the guidance of Taoist thought, and its essence lies in inaction. Taoism prevailed in Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang visited Zhang Sanfeng many times, and Judy built Wudang Mountain to worship Zhenwu Emperor. Emperor Jiajing from Hubei was deeply influenced by Taoism and his political style was quite sophisticated. On the one hand, he lived in seclusion and did not go to court for many years; On the other hand, it has carried out many far-reaching major reforms. Wanli did not go to court, which may be influenced by his grandfather Jiajing.

It should be pointed out that the influence of Taoism is not all negative. At the beginning of Han Dynasty, under the guidance of Huang Lao's thought, the policy of recuperation was implemented, resulting in the famous "governance of cultural landscape". During this period, the national strength of the Han Dynasty increased rapidly, which created conditions for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to attack Xiongnu in the north. Wandi's "ceremony-keeping" is also beneficial to recuperate and restore national strength after the "three major levies".

It is unreasonable to take this as the basis of political neglect. Emperor Wanli's "still photo" is not only a kind of lazy politics, on the contrary, it is a very profound and taiji-style ruling way.

The same is true of "missing". It can only be said that the number of meetings with the minister is relatively small, and it is not completely absent. Even when I am old, I sometimes see a priest.
